Databases are a powerful and mature tool for storing and retrieving specific data on demand from potentially very large repositories. However, the interfaces for extracting data from various database systems can be complex and intimidating for beginner users or users who are unfamiliar with the specifics of how to form a database query properly. Users who are not database experts often require data from such databases, and rely on experts to obtain or extract that data for them. This is a potentially very inefficient use of a database expert's time, and can cause a bottleneck in users' workflows when requesting data from a database. Some simplified interfaces provide a way for users to access data in the database, but such interfaces may still require information from users that the users do not know. The users are forced to go back to the expert for help, which defeats the purpose of the simplified interface.
